Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 pounds of baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes
Liquid and Seasoning
- 1 packet of Lipton onion soup mix
- 1 cup of beef broth or chicken broth
- ¼ cup of unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly under cold water, scrubbing off any dirt. Peel them if you prefer, although leaving the skin on adds texture and nutrients.
- Arrange Potatoes in Slow Cooker: Place the clean potatoes evenly in the bottom of your slow cooker to ensure they cook uniformly.
- Add Soup Mix: Sprinkle the packet of Lipton onion soup mix evenly over the potatoes for a delicious savory flavor infusion.
- Add Broth: Pour in 1 cup of beef or chicken broth to provide moisture and enhance the taste while slow cooking.
- Dot with Butter: Distribute the small pieces of unsalted butter over the top of the potatoes to add richness and depth of flavor as they melt during cooking.
- Season and Cook: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Finish and Serve: Once cooked through and tender, check seasoning, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm as a hearty side dish.
Notes
- You can use either baby potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes based on your preference; both work well.
- Choose beef broth for a richer flavor or chicken broth for a lighter taste.
- Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste, keeping in mind the soup mix already contains some seasoning.
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your slow cooker model and potato size.
- Fresh parsley garnish adds color and a fresh flavor but is optional.
